Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I want to make a political comment and to ask the Taoiseach a question. The Minister for Health has closed down 296 public nursing home beds and he has an investment in a private nursing home. This raises a legitimate question and the Minister can come in and explain that, if he can, tomorrow.

Another issue which should concern the Taoiseach is that one of the Minister's business partners is a former Fine Gael councillor, Anne Devitt, who was found by the Mahon tribunal to have behaved inappropriately in respect of planning matters.
